2024 might be the breakout year for efficient ARM chips in desktop and laptop PCs.

It would be fascinating to see Qualcomm, NVIDIA, AMD, Mediatek, and possibly others all competing to build the best ARM SoCs for windows devices, especially after so many years of Intel stagnating and Apple eating their lunch with their ARM SoCs.

You mean desktop, and not Windows? Because if anything Windows is becoming a botnet device. I hope linux support is OOB.

Windows arm devices boot with UEFI, so standard ARM UEFI images should work, just like on x86. I would bet drivers should be alright too, since these ARM SoCs will likely be similar to ones used in Linux SBCs and Android devices.
